In the evening, there were more and more firecrackers.
Everyone in the Su family started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Not to mention chicken, duck and fish, the old lady also ordered people to prepare five-spicy dishes, Tusu wine, New Year's rice, and dishes for sacrifices.
It finally reached midnight, and Zhao Ling'er was already a little sleepy.
At this time, firecrackers suddenly went off in Yunzhou City, and the crackling sound echoed through the sky.
Mr. Su and his male family members went out and faced the southeast to welcome the God of Wealth and Joy, and then kowtowed to heaven and earth and to their ancestors.
Mrs. Su, along with Mu Yunqing and Zhao Ling'er, knelt in front of the altar table to worship.
There were two tables of tributes from the Su Mansion, one table was dedicated to the gods of heaven and earth, and the other table was dedicated to the ancestors.
I just heard Mrs. Su offering incense to various gods, then murmuring to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and kowtow three times to the gods.
Then the maids filed out, and Ani brought a bowl of dumplings and placed them on the table for worshiping the ancestors. Mrs. Su kowtowed to the ancestors again.
Zhao Ling'er knelt behind Mrs. Su and watched Mrs. Su solemnly burn incense and worship Buddha and pay homage to her ancestors. She couldn't help but think of her own family.
What is mom doing now?
Will I be with her in the other world?
I haven’t been to grandma’s house for a long time. I wonder how she is doing?
Are they also celebrating New Year's Eve now?
What on earth am I doing?
Zhao Ling'er hit her head hard. Is this really a dream?
This dream is too long, I should wake up!
She shook her head, the world had not changed at all.
"How can I return to my world?" Zhao Ling'er said to herself.
Su Yining and the others came back from outside.
The family sat together, and the prepared dishes were served to the table one after another.
"Let's have dinner." Master Su said.
He started to pick up slices of cold lotus root slices, and then everyone followed suit with their chopsticks.
"Come on, Linger, eat more." Mrs. Su kept picking up vegetables for Zhao Linger.
I don’t know whether it was because she suddenly grew up and felt like she had become a different person, or because she suddenly thought that her daughter-in-law should be treated well.
Mrs. Su put another chicken leg on the plate in front of Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er frowned, looked at Su Yi Ning, then stared at the chicken drumsticks on the plate and nodded at Su Yi Ning.
Su Yi Ning shook her head slightly, looked at her with a smile, and let her digest it.
Zhao Linger pouted at him.
Mrs. Su looked at the chicken drumsticks on Zhao Ling'er's plate and urged her: "Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
Zhao Ling'er looked at the chicken legs. She really couldn't eat any more, and she didn't like eating chicken legs either.
Zhao Ling'er picked up the chicken legs and put them on Su Yining's plate, and said, "Yining, you have worked hard, come and eat some chicken legs!"
Su Yining hurriedly waved her hands, picked up the chicken legs and said: "I don't work hard, I don't work hard. My eldest brother has been busy for a year, so he works hard."
As he said that, he put the chicken legs on Su Yixiang's plate.
Su Yixiang glared at Su Yining, who shrugged at him.
Su Yixiang picked up the chicken drumstick and put it back on Mrs. Su's plate, saying, "Mom, you have worked hard this year. Come, eat some chicken drumsticks to replenish your health."
Mrs. Su glanced at the chicken leg: "Huh! You don't want to eat what I gave you, do you?" She said and glanced at Master Su.
Master Su naturally picked up the chicken leg and put it on his plate, saying: "Who said I don't want to eat what you gave me? You didn't give it to me..."
Everyone had almost eaten, so Mrs. Su ordered the maid to clear the table and take out the peanuts and melon seeds.
Su Yining quietly said to Zhao Ling'er: "Let's go out and get some fresh air."
Zhao Ling'er stood up after him, yawned and said, "I want to go back to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
Su Yi Ning said with a smile: "You can't sleep tonight! The younger generation should keep watch for the elders. This is to extend their longevity. Don't sleep tonight! Come on, I will take you to a good place!"
Su Yining held the flowers in one hand and took Zhao Linger with the other to climb up to the roof.
Fireworks were in full bloom everywhere in Yunzhou City. Zhao Ling'er leaned on Su Yining's shoulder to watch the colorful fireworks.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Yining asked.
Zhao Ling'er closed her eyes and said, "I want to sleep."
Su Yi Ning patted her shoulder: "If you want to sleep, I'll take you back to your room. It's cold here."
"Can't you sleep?" Zhao Ling'er yawned again.
Su Yi Ning stood up carefully, caught Zhao Ling'er on the stairs, and said, "Fool, what can I do to sleep? If you feel sleepy, just go to bed."
"What if mother asks about me?"
Su Yi Ning smiled and said, "Mom has gone to bed long ago."
"Su Yining!" Zhao Linger gave him a hammer.
After sending Zhao Ling'er back to her room, Su Yining said, "You go to bed first, I'll go to pay New Year's greetings."
"New Year greetings? It's only 3:30 now!"
Su Yi Ning said: "Go to the hall now and see. Someone has already come to wish our father a happy New Year."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Ling'er waved her hand: "You go ahead."
After saying that, he got into bed and fell asleep quickly.
At this time, Wang Ruoxi was also watching the scenery on the roof.
She snuggled into Li Heng's arms and said, "Let's go see my parents today."
Li Heng said nothing.
Wang Ruoxi raised her head and looked at Li Heng.
Li Heng forced a smile and said: "If you go there and you can't meet him, why go all the way in vain? Besides, I haven't finished what I promised your father, so what's the point of meeting him now?"
"But I want to go home!" Wang Ruoxi burst into tears.
She missed her father.
"How about I take you to your door when it gets dark?"
"You won't go in with me?"
Li Heng shook his head.
Wang Ruoxi said nothing.
Zhao Ling'er had a deep sleep, and when she woke up, she saw that the room was empty.
After a while, Su Yining opened the door and saw Zhao Ling'er awake, and said loudly: "Let's go and play with Wang Ruoxi and the others!"
Zhao Ling'er ordered Ah Zhen to find Zhou You and asked him and Lin Wan'er to meet at Wang Ruoxi's house later.
Not long after Wang Ruoxi fell asleep, she heard someone knocking on the door, so she drowsily ordered the maid to open the door, while she lay on the bed without getting up.
Li Heng went out to greet Su Yining. Hearing that Wang Ruoxi hadn't gotten up yet, Zhao Linger grabbed a small snowball from the yard and quietly entered the back room with Lin Wan'er.
Zhao Ling'er tiptoed to the bedside and gently placed the snow ball on Wang Ruoxi's neck.
Wang Ruoxi was stung by Xue Bing and opened her eyes in pain.
"Happy New Year!" Zhao Linger and Lin Waner shouted to her together.
When Wang Ruoxi saw it was the two of them, she immediately sat up and asked happily: "Why are you two here?"
Zhao Ling'er smiled and said: "It's not just the two of us! The guests are here, but the master hasn't gotten up yet!"
Wang Ruoxi smiled sheepishly.
Zhao Ling'er and Lin Waner walked out of the bedroom, and Wang Ruoxi hurriedly changed her clothes and came to the hall.
I'm so sleepy tonight...I feel like my mind can't spin anymore
